Santosha doesn't ask you to love every moment. It asks you to stop fighting the moment you're actually in. There's a difference between discomfort and suffering, and much of what we experience as suffering in pregnancy comes not from the experience itself but from the resistance to it. From the should. From the comparison. From the image of the pregnancy we were supposed to have hovering just above the one we're actually living.
